Hi, I have had sacroiliac joint trouble on both sides, for a year and a half. I used injections for over a year, but the results were diminishing. I now go to a "wholistic chiropractor, and have seen a slow, progressive improvement. I also started "stretch" therapy ( fascia-stretch), to recover mobility loss due to si pain and injury. The chiropractor uses a compression "gun" to move and realign the bones, plus "light therapy"( low, middle, and high, spectrum light), to promote healing. I've been going for about 2-1/2 months, and I'm seeing improvement. Also the stretch therapist gave me exercises to do before and after walking/ running, to aid against stiffness and tightening up after exercise. I hope you find someone to really help you to be restored to health.

, thank you so much. I was initially treated by pain management, and ran into some issues with the doctor there (his solution after other methods like injections and NSAIDs were not helpful was aspercreme). I went back to my primary care who has been managing it with injections, but they are not working well anymore. He has referred me to Orthopedics this week.
